A Bit of Whimsy

I recently finished up this festive quilt for Sara. Nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit like a fun Christmas-y quilt!

When she sent the quilt, she included a sweet note requesting “whimsical quilting” with some “fund details thrown in”. Sara sounds just like my kinda gal!! I had fun quilting it and I think I satisfied the request.

Any time I go a little crazy with the quilting (which is quite often) I use thread that blends in. It keeps the quilting from overwhelming the quilt top! In this case, the white thread on white fabric just adds the best texture!

Now that I am in the Christmas mood, I will think I will crank up the Christmas carols and get some more quilting done!! Happy Quilting!

About the Author

I am a longarm quilter, teacher, and the author of two books, "Free-motion Quilting with Angela Walters" and "In the Studio with Angela Walters". My quilting career began at the side of my husband's grandfather, and together we made my first quilt, a nine-patch that is still on my bed today. Thousands of swirls, feathers, parallel lines later, I have turned my love of stitches and fabric into a thriving business focused on modern machine quilting. I live on the outskirts of Kansas City with my husband, three children, and many, many quilts. Learn more about me and my love of quilting at www.quiltingismytherapy.com.
